Apple sends out invitations for the new iPhone event on September 12

Apple has sent out invitations for an event at its Cupertino,
California, campus - an event that is almost sure to reveal the
next generation of iPhone, as the company has done every
September since 2012.

Here's a look at the invitation:

Apple is expected to reveal three new models of its flagship
smartphone on September 12 at the Steve Jobs Theater at its new
Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California.

The "gather round" tagline most likely refers to Apple's new
campus, Apple Park, which features a signature "spaceship" design
that's perfectly round. It could also be a hint as to what we can
expect from the event - is Apple also planning to reveal a new
Apple Watch with a round face, perhaps? Or a new HomePod speaker?

This year is expected to be an "S
year," meaning any new iPhones are likely to be an evolution,
rather than a revolution, from last year's flagship iPhone X
reveal. Indeed, all three new phones are likely to sport the
iPhone X's edge-to-edge screen design, complete with the infamous
"notch" for the Face ID selfie camera.

Of course, Apple could always have "one more thing" planned at
its launch. Other possible products that could be on deck for a
grand reveal include new Apple Watch models, an updated iPad Pro
and the next version of its
AirPods.
